What does Ezekiel 23:24 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
24. with chariots--or, "with armaments"; so the Septuagint; "axes" [Maurer]; or, joining it with "wagons," translate, "with scythe-armed wagons," or "chariots" [Grotius]. wheels--The unusual height of these increased their formidable appearance (Eze 1:16-20). their judgments--which awarded barbarously severe punishments (Jr 52:9; 29:22).
